DarwiinRemote is an application for Mac OS X v10.4 which allows Wii Remote to fully control applications on a personal computer. The software includes a desktop application and a developers' framework, allowing for additional functionality. To use the software, the computer must have Bluetooth enabled.

Usage

DarwiinRemote employs most of the features of the Wii Remote. All three accelerometers feed information to the computer. All of the buttons on the Wii Remote, not including the Nunchuk attachment, can be used. The rumble features and LEDs are fully programmable. In addition, DarwiinRemote can accept the infrared signals from the Wii Sensor Bar. However, to use this feature, the bar must be plugged into a powered socket on Wii.

Button mapping

By editing the source code, the buttons on the remote can emulate any key combination on the Mac. By default, the Remote's buttons correspond with the following keys:
